It appears that the Central Bankers are about to lay their final trap. IMHO the minute that Italy and the other gold holders agree to this scheme, the rug will be pulled out from under the sheeple, and the game will be over. We will see interest rates go up forcing all of the PIIGS into default and a surrender of their collateral, which by coincidence includes a few thousand tons of gold.
